Hi, I am packaging a sub-system in a sar. This sar contains other sar and ejb3 mdb's. My problem that I cannot figure out is why the mdb's dont get started when i deploy the sar. If I start jboss clean without any ear, jar, sar etc (except the default ones) and then drops the sar in the deploy directory, the sar and nested jar/sar's get deployed as they should, and the mdb's gets started. If I start jboss with the sar already in the deploy directory the deploy goes fine, but the mdb's dont start. If I re-deploy the sar, then the deployment goes fine AND the mdb's gets started. Could someone please enlighten me how to solve this issue. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3993037#...
